3 Easy Tips For Building Your Mailing List Online

Continuing to build your mailing list ensures that you have more chances to reach people and increase your business!

Here are three ways you can grow your list using online tools:

Promote a sign-up link on social media

Social media is great for building awareness of your business – use the contacts you’ve developed to get them to sign up for your email. One of the reasons you want to do this is that you now have control of when you send them information. As well, you now own their information as oppose to having them like your page on Facebook, which owns your content.

Use your email signature

This can work for everyone. Add a signup link to your email signature – again, it’s a one-time set up and it means that there’s a chance to build your mailing list with each email you send. An added bonus is that when people click your link and add themselves to your list, they fall under the category of express consent, which means you can keep them on your mailing list until they unsubscribe.

Forward to a friend

Make sure you include the forward to a friend button in your emails – and that there’s a place that allows them to sign up. One of the goals with email campaigns is that you want to get your current clients to help you build your database. Often a gentle nudge or suggestion is all that it takes to get someone to send your email to somebody in their network.
